In today’s hyper-literal world, where media often shapes how communities are perceived, the roles actors choose matter more than ever. Acclaimed actor Wood Harris reflects on the intentional decisions behind his career—from portraying a freedom fighter in his new film One Battle After Another to redefining the Black family dynamic in Netflix’s Forever. In this candid fireside chat, Harris explores how today’s political and cultural climate influences the projects he takes on, why disrupting stereotypes is essential, and how artists can use their craft to perpetuate truth and ensure that powerful, authentic images are represented on screen.
